Looking
very similar but much fatter than the Northrop Gamma I started the conversion by
making the fuselage wider with plastic strips. I also had to add normal aileron
instead of the table version in the kit.

A new engine came
from Aeroclub and the canopy was scratch built. So here is the plane named
"Småland" it crashed in the Swedish province Småland on it's first
mail run between Stockholm and Malmö in 1934.
A base for the plane
was made in the shape of the ABA logo.
